Libraryland - Artist Rory Macbeth inscribed the entire text... THE BACKSTAGE RIDER- Be Our Dirty Valentine? Apnea’s NSFW Top 11: Songs That Make A Model Feel Sexy We here at BackstageRider Central would rather be subjected to copious Bieber than do something cheesy around The Commercial Exploitation of Romance Day. No, instead, let’s focus on what Valentine’s Day should really be about: dressin’ up, lookin’ sexy and trying to get laid. See? So who better to know about all things insanely sexy than former Suicide Girl, alt-porn/fetish/soft-core film model beauty Apnea (aka Amanda Pemberton)? Besides being in dozens of amazingly styled photo shoots, dirty babydoll Apnea will be starring in (fiance) Chase Lisbon ’s new sexy (and I do mean sexy) movie, “We Must Remain The Wildhearted Outsiders”. and the doe-eyed, tattooed lovely knows how to get things nice and frothy. So, Apnea – fan of black metal, indie, punk, hip-hop and altrock, what 11 songs do you dig? 1. 2. “ Kiss Like Lizards ” – Icarus Line – “SEXY” 3. 4. ”In My Direction” – Lux Perpetua – “It’s fun to cry while I’m jerking off sometimes.” 5. 7. ”Hitherto” – Expo 70 – “Words get in the way.

Chuckles and Mr. Squeezy : dredg Those who are expecting the record to be a consistent continuance of THE PARIAH, THE PARROT, THE DELUSION will no doubt be surprised: this album is completely different from everything dredg have ever done before. It took the band members almost eight months of exchanging song-material via e-mail to finish the album--a process producer Dan The Automator (Gorillaz, Kasabian, etc.) was also involved in right from the early beginnings. His influence becomes most apparent in the songs “The Tent,” “Sun Goes Down” and “Before it Began” where he also took an active part in the songwriting. With CHUCKLES AND MR. The last 15 years of development brought dredg to an unexpected, yet welcomed point in their career. Tour dates for 2011 will be announced soon. "Chuckles And Mr Squeezy" by Dredg will be released on 05/3/11.
Vintage Style Owl Ring Silver by cheapandchicland on Etsy Catching Up With... Bright Eyes :: Music After a lengthy four-year hiatus from the band that launched his career, Conor Oberst has reunited with his longtime Bright Eyes collaborators Mike Mogis and Nate Walcott for The People’s Key . Oberst recently caught up with Paste about the new record, his experiences playing with The Mystic Valley Band, the power of science fiction and the future of the human race. Paste: It’s been quite a while since you did a Bright Eyes record. How did the experience of leaving Bright Eyes behind for a few albums, and then coming back to it, affect the new album? Paste: In that period of time, over the last few years when you were doing other things, how do you feel like you grew, personally and artistically? Paste: Cassadaga had this rootsy, tethered-to-earth feel, but the new record is very spacey and cosmic. Paste: There are these great, long, spoken segments on the album from Denny Brewer of the band Refried Ice Cream.
Why I Continue To Write - Page 1 - Art+Books Art by Santiago Uceda I started writing because I wanted to do something with my life before I died. I still do. I went into the hospital in 1946, with advanced tuberculosis, and altogether I spent three and a half years in the hospital. By the time I got out I had had 10 ribs removed, one lung collapsed, a piece of the other one removed, and there were some severe complications from an experimental drug that was used to keep me alive. During these years I was given up for dead several times. Anyway, I was sitting at home and had a profound experience. I wrote every night after work, struggling to learn how to write, and at the end of six years Last Exit to Brooklyn was finished. And then I began writing again. Unfortunately, a great deal of my energy is expended in just staying alive, which doesn’t leave much for the other things. Being an artist doesn’t take much, just everything you got.
Kurt Vonnegut: "The Big Space Fuck" Elegy for Palm Sunday “The Big Space Fuck” Kurt Vonnegut / "Again, Dangerous Visions," Harlan Ellison, ed., 1972 “What was the dirtiest story I ever wrote?” wrote Kurt Vonnegut in “ Palm Sunday ,” his 1981 “autobiographical collage.” In 1987 it became possible in the United States of America for a young person to sue his parents for the way he had been raised. In 1989, America staged the Big Space Fuck, which was a serious effort to make sure that human life would continue to exist somewhere in the Universe, since it certainly couldn’t continue much longer on Earth. This was a period of great permissiveness in matters of language, so even the President was saying shit and fuck and so on, without anybody’s feeling threatened or taking offense. It was to be fired at midnight on the Fourth of July. Dwayne and Grace marveled at a film demonstration of how jizzum had been freeze-dried for the trip. There was an old astronaut on the television now. Dwayne and Grace were thunderstruck.
FUNNY WOMEN #45: One-Handed Reading Loads of people have slept with authors or well-read individuals, but what would it be like to sleep with a book? The Metamorphosis and Other Stories by Kafka There’s something about it that seems like a BDSM fantasy, but here it’s the sadist that’s always tied up. No One Belongs Here More Than You by Miranda July The person lying beside you is a stranger, masquerading as a friend with their unexpected bursts of empathy. The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand You don’t fuck The Fountainhead , The Fountainhead fucks you. Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery It’s the kind of romance that makes you want to put on a floor-length cotton nightie just so you can take it off later. Sailing Alone Around the Room by Billy Collins If there were a definition for sex of the body without the full stimulation of the senses that was the opposite of pornography, this would be it. The Elements of Style by William Strunk Jr. and E. There’s a first time for everyone. Tinkers by Paul Harding
Go Hard For Christ WERNER HERZOG - Vice Magazine Interviewing Werner Herzog is a guilt-ridden experience. That’s not to say he makes the questioner feel stupid or inferior, but there’s still a lingering notion that he could be drafting a screenplay or producing a film in the time it takes to ask him about doing those things. He’s written, produced, or directed (more often than not it’s all three) more than 50 movies. And it’s well known that he’d rather talk about what he’s doing than what he’s done. Following that line of reasoning, this is not an interview that attempts to analyze Herzog’s work. That’s been done to death. At this point, we want to know more about how the man is capable of doing what he does at such a speed and sustained level of quality. Somehow Herzog has figured out a way to beat Hollywood at its own game. VICE: You’ve lived in Los Angeles for a while now, and your assertion that it has more substance than any city in the United States is one that puzzles lots of people. I would just call it a trailer.
